"Natsuo! What are you doing?!" Danzo arrived with a furious expression.
"Bringing your wives to the battlefield? What are you thinking?!"
On the battlefield, it's a place of desperate struggle. Although shinobis are slightly different from regular military forces, the difference on the battlefield is not that exaggerated. They must also respect military discipline. Natsuo, as the deputy leader, brought his wives. It's like a general leading a group of maidservants on a military expedition...
"Who said you can't bring wives to the battlefield?" Natsuo blinked his eyes and smiled. "Elder Danzo, do we have such a rule in Konoha?"
Of course not! Because before Natsuo, no one had ever done such a thing! Laws that have never been violated naturally have no meaning.
"Uchiha Natsuo! Have you completely lost the honor of the Uchiha clan?!" Danzo snorted angrily. "I order you to send these people back!"
"You may not care, but you can't affect Konoha's reputation!"
However, Natsuo shook his head. "No, Elder Danzo, you don't have the right to do that... And besides, I brought them for the sake of the war."
"War is fought with manpower, and having an extra pair of hands means having an extra glimmer of hope..."
"What will we do if the war continues, and we have insufficient reserves of shinobis?"
"Besides, I cannot leave aside my responsibility to revive the Uchiha clan."
"Are you really planning to impregnate your wives on the battlefield?" Danzo couldn't help but widen his eyes. "What if they actually get pregnant? That's a battlefield!"
"Okay. I will make arrangements to get manpower to protect my pregnant wives and send them back to the Uchiha main residence in Konoha." Natsuo said calmly, clearly that's what he had in mind.
A mere war, and you think it can hinder the path of Uchiha's revival? Don't even think about it!
Danzo was dumbfounded, and the other ninjas were also confused.
There were rumors in the village that the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Natsuo, had been driven mad by the scarcity of population and had become obsessed with having children, almost to the point of paranoia...
Now it seems that this is actually true?
"Natsuo! Do you understand at all that we are going to the battlefield next?" Danzo's voice was filled with anger. He didn't care about Natsuo's life, but he cared about the reputation of Konoha!
Looking at Natsuo hugging Samui, and then seeing the frustrated expressions of the Konoha shinobi around them, it was clear that they were quite dissatisfied as well. Anyone would feel the same when their teammates were having fun, eating, drinking, and flirting while they were fighting for their lives!
"You want to have a child on the front lines? Why don't you bring a bed to the front lines then!" Danzo scolded.
Natsuo: "I already did."
"Ah?" Danzo was taken aback. Then he saw Natsuo take out a storage scroll and unseal it.
The next second, a magnificent wooden bed appeared out of thin air. It came with soft pillows, clean sheets, and warm and comfortable bedding.
"You even brought a bed?" Danzo was dumbfounded and couldn't help but say: "Why didn't you bring some food while you were at it?"
"I did bring some." Natsuo replied.
"Ah?"
Natsuo unsealed another storage scroll. There were braised pork elbows, fragrant duck products, peanuts, candy pudding, jelly drinks, and everything else you could think of.
Danzo asked, as he started to feel his head hurt: "What else did you bring?!"
Natsuo thought for a moment and said: "A lot of things, like clean clothes, tables and chairs, alcohol and medicine, razors, facial cleanser, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and bedroom toys..."
"Wait!" Danzo widened his eyes. "You even brought 'toys'?!"
"Yes." Natsuo nodded and said, "But that's more private, so I won't show it to you directly."
"I didn't ask you to show them!" Danzo and the surrounding shinobis were all dumbfounded. Is this man going to the battlefield or on an outing?
Although Danzo was filled with anger inside. But in the end, he did not send Natsuo back to Konoha.
Even in the face of dissatisfaction from other shinobis, he defended Natsuo and forcefully suppressed everyone's objections, leading the troops to the front lines.
Of course, his reason for defending Natsuo was simple, anyway, this guy won't live much longer! As long as he disappears early, the impact on morale will naturally be gone.
It can even become an example in Konoha's military regulations. Young masters don't see the battle as an excursion, people can really die. The Uchiha clan has set an example for you! But in reality, before making this matter a true military regulation in Konoha, he couldn't really control Natsuo.
Shinobis carry their unique 'ninja tools', which is a custom of war. After all, shinobis have different styles of ninjutsu. For example, the Akimichi clan needs a lot of food to sustain the consumption of their family's secret techniques.
So is it reasonable for them to bring more food? Should the Inuzuka clan prepare dog food and chew toys for their ninja dogs? The Aburame clan's individual insects' food is honey. Can you say they shouldn't bring honey as a dessert to the battlefield?
Natsuo used the reason 'the things I brought are my unique ninja tools' to argue that even Danzo couldn't forcibly order him to put them down.
As for women...
That is naturally the privilege of the deputy leader. Which superior doesn't have a few direct subordinates? Although the role of Natsuo's direct subordinates is different from others.
In short, Danzo was only able to quickly bring reinforcements to the battlefield against Kirigakure. It must be said that Danzo's reputation as the 'The Darkness of the Shinobi' is quite loud. Not only are the shinobis within the village fearful of him, but even the shinobis outside the village tremble at the mention of his name.
After Danzo arrived, Kirigakure's aggression decreased noticeably.
Danzo is also an experienced veteran who has been on the battlefield since the First Shinobi World War, never missing a single one.
In terms of deploying troops, he is experienced and not inferior to the Nara clan's shinobis. Under his several deployments, Konoha launched a counterattack to a certain extent, causing some damage to Kirigakure.
However, with the arrival of the Mizukage, Terumi Mei, Kirigakure was able to stabilize her position.
Natsuo, on the other hand, 'worked' hard during this time. Perhaps due to the novelty, Samui successfully conceived after a series of 'battles' and was sent back to Konoha by Natsuo.
During this time, Danzo did not take action. Although he wanted to kill Natsuo, even someone as rough as him knew the importance of discretion. It would be too deliberate to make the Uchiha's death public at the beginning of the war!
'Wait... Just wait a little longer.' Danzo looked at the map and thought to himself. 'Once the war has been going on for a while, I can send him out and let him die directly in the hands of Kirigakure.'
'Before that, I'll endure a little longer!'
On the other hand, since Kirigakure already joined the war, Terumi Mei would naturally not foolishly attack Konoha head-on. So she began contacting the other villages, sending messengers to Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and even Iwagakure.
Sunagakure frontline base.
"Kazekage-sama, our Kirigakure has already taken action. What are you waiting for?" The Kiri shinobi messenger said with great emphasis. "We have already attracted the attention of Danzo, The Darkness of the Shinobi, and the Fifth Hokage has deployed a large amount of forces to defend against Kumogakure's attack."
"This is the perfect opportunity for you!"
He said it with great regret, as if he wished to become a Suna shinobi and advise the Kazekage-sama.
In reality, the enemy that Sunagakure led by the Kazekage faced was indeed the weakest. Even Kirigakure, who had just acted, had Danzo leading his elite forces, along with most of Konoha's forces. He really was the most suitable person to take action!
However, what the Kirigakure messenger did not expect was that as soon as he spoke, he was overwhelmed by the numerous shouts of the Suna shinobi.
"Shut up! Are you, a Kiri shinobi, teaching our village's Kazekage-sama how to do things?"
"Our Kazekage-sama has his own considerations. Why do we need to explain to you?"
"You, a mere Kiri shinobi, just obediently follow our Kazekage-sama's arrangements. Don't even think about influencing our Kazekage-sama's decision!"
Kiri shinobi messenger: "..."
Are these Suna shinobis crazy? However, upon seeing the admiration in the eyes of the Suna shinobi towards the Kazekage, the Kiri shinobi could not help but raise his evaluation of the Kazekage.
Due to Kirigakure's isolationist policy, the Kiri shinobis did not have much interaction with Sunagakure and its Kazekage Rasa. The only time they had interacted with Kazekage Rasa was probably when Rasa betrayed Pakura.
Although the agreement at that time made Kirigakure very happy, in reality the Kiri shinobi despised Rasa's behavior of selling out his comrades.
However, looking at the enthusiasm of the Suna shinobis now, the image of Rasa in the heart of the Kirigakure envoy immediately became much more unpredictable.
About the act of killing the Third Hokage, attacking Konoha, and retreating with the Suna shinobi; the Kiri shinobi refrained from commenting for now, without obtaining precise information. But being able to get the Suna shinobis so excited clearly indicates that the Kazekage has already fully integrated the power of Sunagakure and has supreme prestige within the village...
Obviously, Rasa is not an ordinary person!
Thinking about it, the Kirigakure envoy's voice lowered a few degrees, and his attitude became more respectful. "Fourth Kazekage, please consider my suggestion."
"Currently, Konoha is severely lacking in manpower that can support them. Fifth Hokage Tsunade has not fully integrated Konoha's power, and most of their power is in Danzo's hands, being entangled by our Kirigakure..."
"Sunagakure are currently in the most suitable period to take action!"
Upon hearing this, Rasa smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm. "Most of their power is entangled by you?"
"Yes." Although the Kirigakure envoy felt that Rasa's tone was strange, he still said: "Danzo and his Root shinobis are all on the battlefield against Kirigakure. Isn't this enough to prove my words?"
"And not only Danzo, but also the likes of the Aburame clan's Aburame Torune, the Nara clan's Nara Shikaku, the Inuzuka clan's..."
The Kirigakure envoy mentioned several names in succession, all of them being elite with considerable strength.
But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Rasa's cold laughter: "Aburame Torune? Nara Shikaku?"
"No major clan leader from Konoha has been mobilized yet, and you have the audacity to say that Kirigakure has drawn most of Konoha's power?"
The face of the envoy instantly turned red. Yes, although the names he mentioned had considerable strength and were considered elite, they were still a bit inferior to those clan leaders.
In terms of the number of people, it is an exaggeration to say that most of Konoha's power is on the battlefield against Kirigakure.
However, since he was able to be assigned as an envoy, he naturally has thick skin. He pretended to be indifferent and said: "It's not true that the leader of a large clan is not present, for example, the leader of the Uchiha clan is serving as Konoha's deputy leader on our side..."
Then, words full of disdain were heard from the crowd: The leader of the Uchiha clan? Uchiha Natsuo, who is busy having children every day?
Oh... Looks like this guy stopped one of Shukaku's attacks during the Konoha Collapse Plan. But that's it! In the end Kazekage-sama left with Shukaku and left Konoha without any injuries.
However, before the Suna shinobis could say any more nonsense, Rasa suddenly stood up.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
"Huh?" The envoy was stunned and said: "The leader of the Uchiha clan is serving as the deputy leader of Konoha on our side..."
"I see!" Rasa's eyes lit up.
"It seems that you, Kirigakure have really attracted most of Konoha's power. Now I will gather the Suna shinobis and launch an all-out attack!"
Did Natsuo really go to the battlefield against Kirigakure? If we don't act now, when will we?
